Answer 1

Aluminium, like most metals, forms cations easier than it does anions. The most common for aluminum is Al3+, when it has lost three electrons.

Answer 2

Aluminum is a cation because it typically loses three electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a positive charge.

Answer 3

The element Aluminum has a positive 2+ charge.

Answer 4

Cation with +3 charge.

Al3+ cation

Answer 5

Cation.

Answer 6
